Dad finally called the meeting to an end, to say that it was awkward was a massive understatement Esme and Carlisle were trying to be as welcoming as possible.. not like they appreciated it though. Humf! All the rest were trying as best as possible to try and avoid them, same as the volturi avoiding the Cullen's as much as possible it was so weird.
I watched as Jane, two other girls interacted it was like they were sisters, it was like they were in their own little bubble. Ok maybe if I just introduce myself at least then I've tried to make effort being polite and if they throw it back in my face then hey that's their loss. Though Annie was projecting to me in my mind for me to not do it but I shrugged and Mase gripped onto me and whispered. "Where are you going?" I looked at him with a complete straight face.
"Well someone has got to make the first move, look like it or not we have got to work together and if that means trying to get along then least someone is going to make an effort I don't like this awkward atmosphere and don't even try to sugar coat it saying there's no atmosphere cause I'm not an idiot everybody feels it they just don't want to admit it.
Whatever happened in the past is the past, we just need to move forward, but hey! If they throw the politeness back in our face then least we all can say we tried and iff they are being rude then we leave them to it." Mase knew there was no reasoning with me, so he sighed and nodded.
"As much as I hate to admit it but you're right Sofie… but I'm coming with you.. I don't feel comfortable you going to them by yourself." I really am confused.. why is everyone wary. But for now I let it go and Annie even said she was going to come with me, Ness, Liz and EJ didn't want to Zack opted to come obviously to assist Anna-Maria. The volturi were outside in the backyard they were laughing but it seemed like we interrupted a joke.
When myself, Masen, Zack and Anna-Maria stepped outside they stopped what they were doing, the guys in the plain black coats all but stared at us… not in fascination it was like they were sizing us up. Nobody was saying anything so I stepped forward and introduced ourselves.
"Erm.. hello? I don't believe we have been introduced my name is Sofia Williams, and this is my sister Anna-Maria and her mate Zack I already know you're familiar with Masen… I know this sounds silly but I've never heard of you before" they all looked genuinely surprise Jane snorted. "You haven't heard of us? We are known as royal in the vampire world everybody knows us.. we are the most powerful coven in the world" I smiled. "Well forgive me your highness but from where I come from, education wasn't really on the agenda" Everybody circling us were all stifling their laughter few of the guards coughed to hide their laughter, even Jane's brother was trying hard not to laugh, Jane looked pissed though she stepped forward looking ready to jump for me, her brother stepped forward probably trying to calm her.
Mase whispered in my ear 'good one' I let out a little giggle. Jane then shouted for her brother to move. "You don't know who you are messing with!" I crossed my arms cockily what is this little girl saying. I stepped even closer to her. "Jane.. you can throw threats at me all you like, I have grew up having threats thrown at me left, right and centre, there is nothing that you can do to me that can scare me!" Everybody looked surprised that I stepped right in her face why?.
Jane even looked surprised but surprisingly she didn't look pissed she looked impressed and smiled. "I admire you're boldness, but I agree introductions do seem to be in order as you know my name is Jane Volturi, this is my brother Alec, our brother Demetri Volturi, Felix Volturi, our sister Chelsea, and the guard" I turned to look at the guys and they looked petrified.
Sofia, you are so stupid you do realise that Jane has the most awful gift! She can create the illusion of pain through the mind, that is why everybody is so scared because she bares a powerful gift she could have hurt you so badly.
I could hear the concern in my sister's voice I nodded and I once again looked at Jane she did look more scary than I first looked at her before no wonder why everybody was cautious because they know how powerful she is!. I then nodded to everyone and then moved the subject along until I heard the one voice I thought I wouldn't hear, it was little aidan he ran and pulled on the jean of my leg I heard them all jump back.
"Sopie, I'm scared they have wed eyes, are they here to huwt us?" I looked at my baby brother and kissed him on the cheek and shook my head. "No addy bear there… friends of ours who are going to stay with us for a while" Aidan slowly looked at all of them and a burning urge of questions must have sored through them I then began to notice that they were looking thirsty.. they really need to hunt. So I called my mother.
"MOM! Will you come here please?" soon enough my mom came out and looked a little awkward and a growing concern for Aidan. "What's the matter darling?" "Would you take Aidan inside?" Mom nodded relieved and toke Aidan out of my hands he looked happy to be going inside where he was safe they watched as my mom disappeared inside. "Why is there a human with you?" Alec asked almost offended actually. "You do realise the consequences if you expose yourself to any human?" I was confused.. mase then stepped forward.
"actually she doesn't and the boy is 4 years old, he doesn't know we're vampires, he knows we're not entirely human but he has kept it a secret as he thinks if he tells then he would be taken away. Lilly, Sofia's biological mother found him in the forest, both of his real parents have been killed by a vampire, if it wasn't for Carlisle Esme, Lilly and her husband Chris, Aidan would have been killed too, so Lilly adopted him and she raises him like her own, until he comes the age of 18 Lilly and Chris are leaving him to decide whether or not he wants to become a vampire. If he does they will turn him if not he will keep the secret and live his life as a human".
Alec snorted and shrugged it. "do you honestly think we'd allow this if he does decide to not be a vampire he is a liability he would be given the choice to either be turned or death!" My heart sank! The chance to have a human life for my little brother is taken away it's like we are raising him like a pig and then slaughtering him taking away his chance to live a normal life.
I just didn't want to hear it anymore so I just walked away. I put my hand on mase's heart. "There's no point in fighting about it now, we have 14 years yet to worry about this once it comes around we will figure it out but for now I want to go." I then felt a bit bad so I turned round to them they looked a bit out of place the volturi. "You're welcome to join us if you like?" Chelsea I think her name was smiled and stepped forward. "I'll come with you.. you seem nice. I want to get to know you more and seeing as though we have god knows how many months together I think I want to get a better understanding of everyone.." I smiled and nodded Jane didn't say anything she just followed but the guys point blanked refused… which is no surprise. I'm no empathy but I just know that the hatred for the Cullen's still burns deep within them… oh well their loss.
With mase firmly by my side I turned round to see if Chelsea and a few of the female guard and jane were still behind us and I was correct but they seemed to.. infatuated with me and masen.. merh.. keep staring bitches. Annie suppressed a giggle, I just smiled and winked, Zack looked at her confused.
"What's so funny annie?" Annie giggled. "Nothing Zack.. nothing to worry about" Annie winked back, Zack looked at me confused which caused me to laugh even more. Zsck then looked at Mase and he too was confused. "What's wrong with these two?" Mase shrugged. "I don't know dude.. they were fine a minute ago!" Zack laughed and shrugged Mase and Zack carried on walking into the living area while myself and Annie and the volturi girls came into my bedroom, it seemed to me that the others were hiding as I couldn't find Nessie and Lizzie anywhere.
My guess is that they've gone with Jake, Seth and Leah. Myself and Annie sat on my bed and the girls just stood there not sure. "Sit down, you've seen a bed before right?" Chelsea looked at me like I was stupid. "Of course.. I just…don't use it for sleeping.." I sort of got the jist by what she was saying which sparked my interest whether she has a mate.
Jane, Chelsea and some other girl I don't know her name sat on the edge of the bed. "So Chelsea.. do you have a mate?" Chelsea smiled and nodded. "Yeah Demetri" I could see the burning passion of love she has for him.
"So forgive me if this is a stupid question but.. where are you guys from?. You're clothes are amazing and definitely Italian designer" Chelsea smiled. "We live in an old castle in Voleterra in Italy, the castle is so old that we result to living underground the public part of the castle is a level above us and the grounds that we roam is very private though we have many tourists that visit the castle." My guess that's how they sounds peculiar I laughed. "I'm from Canada, Ontario to be specific" They nodded clearly having just a basic knowledge of Canada. "That sounds cool. Your father is Joham I believe?" I snorted.
"He is no father of mine! Only by name.. but he doesn't even deserve the title! The man is psychotic and pure evil, he will stop at nothing to gain power and control!" Jane hissed. "If he loves power and control there could be a chance he could try to overthrow us, the last people that tried were the Romanian coven and we beat them!" Chelsea comforted Jane but I think that could be a high possibility and Annie came out of her thoughts and nodded.
"Sorry but Jane is right I just looked at Joham's course once he plots to overtake Washington he knows very well that you are aware of him. He will want to over throw you! Though I imagine he won't be successful as I see his future go blank after" Jane smiled cockily. "Well I think it's fair to say that we're going to need some training! Shall we get started?" I nodded the girls went away to probably get changed and myself and Annie quickly changed into something suitable.
"Man they are so intimidating" I nodded in agreement. "I just want it to be over and done with you know?" Annie agreed she came and hug me. "Don't worry Sofia it will all be over soon I promise" I heard a knock on the door and it was dad he smiled at us lovingly. "how are my girls?" Annie laughed and so did I, I rand and hugged dad tightly he stroked my hair and kissed the top of my hair. "Well I didn't expect this" I giggled. "Well I just haven't been able to spend time with you dad and I just thought I'd give you a hug" dad smiled at me lovingly. "I promise we will be spend some time together just you and me darling" I smiled widely. "Well I want to see what you do when you're working maybe I could see you at your work?" Dad laughed. "I think that seems reasonable after the fight I'll show you all the rounds I do at hospital" I smiled widely and hugged my dad. Until Esme walked in I smiled widely and hugged her tightly she's like my second mother.. I love it.
"Hello dear!" I giggled. "hi mom" Yes I call her mom as well. There's nothing wrong with having two mothers. "I just came up here to tell you lot that everybody is impatiently waiting Emmett is chomping a bit" Emmy then makes his presence known "Hey mom that's not fair!" I couldn't help but giggle. "I heard that Sofie!" I couldn't help but a little blush escape me. Annie started to laugh so much that she was on the floor I couldn't help but glare daggers at her playfully she managed to calm herself down, kiss my cheek and walk out Humf! Mom and dad then smiled wrapped an arm around me they both kissed my cheek and we all walked out to the backyard Mase smiled at me as he saw me with Esme and Dad I nodded his head as if to say come here so I hugged them and walked next to Mase and was next to mom she smiled lovingly at me and kissed my cheek. "Love you darling" I smiled warmly at my -mother and nodded. "I love you too mom" She held a sleepy Aidan she's going to need to know a lot about how to fight. "Mom why don't I put him down in the warmth I'll lay him on the sofa if he wakes we'll be able to hear him plus we're not going to be anywhere far" Mom smiled and nodded. "Ok darling! Just make sure he has his bear he can't sleep without it and his blanket, you should see it, it's the yellow one!" I nodded I quickly and carefully laid him out on the couch tucked his bear underneath his arm and tucked him in his blanket he shifted slightly but a small smile creped when Aidan knew he had his bear I kissed his cheek. "I love you Addy bear!" and quietly left the room everybody was smiling when they saw me aside from the volturi everybody was paired up with their mates and Jazz was in front of us.
even the pack was here. "guys before we start, I am an expert in training and fighting vampires… I am not able to give you specific information as to how we kill a hybrid however but I say is that we need to avoid spilling a lot of blood as possible, we are not sure as how string they could be!" I wanted to speak out I have seen how easy it is to kill a hybrid without spilling blood. "Sorry Jazz but I have knowledge how to defeat a hybrid without making a mess." Everybody's eyes directed at me Jazz smiled warmly and nodded. "Ok Sofia.. would you be able to share with us how?" I smiled at my brother and nodded. I haven't had chance to properly speak with Jasper as a matter of fact I haven't been able to speak with Bella and Edward properly either and I felt bad so I promised that I will try to spend as much time as possible with everyone.
I stepped past everyone and everybody looked at me with curiosity. "Okay.. um.. as you all aware hybrid produce their own blood as we have a working heartbeat, so to rip us apart like a vampire will be a messy job, I have witnessed many times as Joham killed.. a brother to make a point.. Joham swiftly snapped his neck. And he was dead! After when he's not moving he burnt him!" everybody then seemed confident now that they are aware of how to kill hybrids is easy everybody is now wanting to learn defence techniques I had nothing else to say, so I stood back to where I was, and let Jasper continue what to say.
It feels real all this. It is now that we are getting ready to fight for my freedom, to fight against the power of what Joham is trying to bare on me, he only sees me as a prize the only solution to his plan that has become faulty and I will not be used cause once he is done I will know he will kill me in the end. I will not let my father kill mankind in front of my eyes, which is why I fight. I want him dead. And he will die. So let the training begin.
